Process Reuse, as well as Product Reuse, can reduce the cost and the time to deliver software when compared to independently developed products. This paper proposes a systematic representation framework for the description and classification of Process Component (PC), which is composed of three levels of information description, namely PC’s General Information Description, PC’s Specification De...

To ensure high encryption rate and good data security, an organization of an encipherement program in the form of two modules was proposed. The first module is used for customizing the second one, the latter being the resident of the program, wich maintains all application calls about encryption procedures. This approach is shown to be perspective for the elaboration of the cryptosystems with i...

Software routers are becoming an important alternative to proprietary and expensive network devices, because they exploit the economy of scale of the PC market and open-source software. When considering maximum performance in terms of throughput, PC-based routers suffer from limitations stemming from the single PC architecture, e.g., limited bus bandwidth, and high memory access latency. To ove...

This work proposes an approach for Personal Computer (PC) architecture teaching, which merges a visual lecturing of the main components of a desktop PC and a posterior system information software inspection of the performance and characteristics of its components. The study of the PC architecture is essential in any introductory computer science course. However, it is very often observed that t...

A desktop computer with System/370 capability was produced by enhancing the IBM Personal Computer XT with additional hardware and developing software that provides a compatible interface. The computer, the IBM Personal Computer XT/370, and this software allow users to run most System/370 Conversational Monitor System application programs unaltered in a desk-top environment. The evolution of the...

--A computer based data acquisition system to monitor and control photovoltaic power generation systems using a novel method, based on Campbell scientific data acquisition board (CR3000) and graphical programming software (PC 400), has been designed and implemented. Prior to designing the data acquisition system, a small sized PV power generation system, consisting of a 6.4kw Solar panel, a cha...

Creating AI for complex computer games requires a great deal of technical knowledge as well as engineering effort on the part of game developers. This paper focuses on techniques that enable end-users to create AI for games without requiring technical knowledge by using case-based reasoning techniques. AI creation for computer games typically involves two steps: a) generating a first version of...
